“If you’re set on pushing your grandfather to his grave, then by all means, follow us,” she said. “But don’t come see us again unless Millie is with you.”
With that, she stepped into the elevator, leaving Brandon behind in complete silence.
Not a single voice rose across the entire floor. It was as if everyone had been struck mute, their silence thick with tension. The entire space felt frozen in stillness, the only sound cutting through the air coming from the broadcast playing on the screen.
There, Vivian stood holding a microphone, her expression poised and full of confidence. “Serena, your talent is undeniable, and I truly admire it. If we become a team, I can promise you a stage that shines. I’ll give it my all to support your journey. So, will you join me?”
Beside her, the host announced excitedly, “And there you have it, folks! Judge Vivian has officially invited Serena. Now, let’s see what Serena decides!”
The camera then shifted to…
Serena, dressed in a blazing rose-red stage outfit, stepped forward with calm composure and took the microphone handed to her.
Vivian smiled as she looked at the masked woman in front of her. There was a sharpness behind her gaze.
Before this part started, she had sent a message to Serena.
“Even if you don’t come to me first, I’ll still tell you this—Millie signed with Evans Entertainment a year ago. She’s been tied to Charles ever since. You lost a child for him, and still, no one knows you’re his girlfriend. That has to sting. Join my team. I won’t mention your miscarriage, and with the attention we’re getting now, I can help you shine. I’ll make Charles see you. And Millie? She’ll be seen for what she is—a woman who shifts easily and always needs a man to lean on. This isn’t a threat, Serena. It’s a sincere offer.”
Vivian thought the mix of pressure and promises would be enough to sway Serena. But Millie stood quietly now, watching her, fully aware of how Vivian liked to play games.
Millie turned to the audience and bowed, holding the mic with calm grace. Then she looked at the three judges in front of her.

Leonard Happer was thirty-two, a pop singer whose signature love songs filled playlists and radio charts. Alex Hayes—twenty-eight, rising fast in the alt-pop scene, leading his own band. And Vivian—twenty-five, famous not for music but for her delicate looks, her floral design business, and her role in promoting Heavenly Melody.
All three had asked her to join their team.
Millie spoke with quiet clarity. “Thank you all for your kind invitations. Too bad I can only choose one…” She paused, letting the silence stretch just enough. “Based on my music style, and what I hope to learn here, I’ve decided.”
The judges’ seats were arranged in a half-circle—Vivian in the middle, the others on either side. Millie walked straight ahead.
Vivian’s expression relaxed into a self-assured smile, certain she was about to win.
But just before reaching her, Millie turned. She walked toward Alex.
“Mr. Hayes,” she said, her voice calm and respectful, “may I join your team?”
Alex glanced toward Vivian, catching the subtle change in her expression, and then smiled and stood. “I’d be honored,” he said, shaking her hand.
The camera zoomed in on their handshake—while just behind them, Vivian’s smile had frozen in place.
